WHAT I'M READING | THE MYSTERY GUEST | NITA PROSE

 After reading The Maid By Nita Prose, this second one in the series has been on my TBR as I loved The Maid. It had been a little pricey on Kindle so when it went to the 99p offers this month I snapped it right up.



DO NOT DISTURB. WHODUNNIT IN PROGRESS…

Molly the maid sees everything at The Regency Grand Hotel.

So when a renowned guest drops very dead on the tearoom floor, sullying the hotel’s five-star reputation, it falls to Molly to sweep up the clues.

An unfortunate accident? Or a murderous mess?

The answers to the mystery lie behind one guest’s door – and only the maid holds the key

I really couldn't get into it after a few chapters and thought I might have been in a bit of a reading slump, so left it a few days.

After sitting on it I decided to dedicate a day to getting it read as I am not one for skipping books, I just can't do it!. 

After finishing it I really was left thinking, is that it!. The book has been given so much hype and it is a bestseller but I was left feeling a bit deflated.

The story didn't really grip me, the new characters were a little duh and I was expecting so much more as the first book was brilliant.

Nita is releasing a Christmas edition - The Mistletoe Mystery this Christmas, which I have high hopes for.

  4. It sounds like a classic murder mystery, but with the twist of the made. It's interesting that the book didn't hold your attention - I hope the next one does!
